We have an application that builds custom distributions based on RHEL, CentOS or
Fedora. We would like to install these over the network using virt-install, but
we've run into an issue with the distro check logic. Specifically, virt-install
fails unless it finds a string "Red Hat Enterprise Linux", "Fedora" or "CentOS"
within the family field of the .treeinfo file.
Our application currently sets the family field to the user-provided distro name
(see below). We have avoided using the base distro name given trademark concerns.
[general]
family = <user provided value>
variant = <user provided value>
We can get virt-install to pass the distro check by setting the family name to
one of the accepted values, e.g.
[general]
family = Fedora
variant = [user provided distro name]
Is this the expected/desired use for the family and variant fields? Or is there
another approach we should consider?
Thanks,
Kay
